AEPSC - Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso

Key information

In December 2012, sports and culture were extremely precarious at the University Polytechnique of Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. By December 2013, outraged fans launched a general mobilisation call for the support of craftsmanship in these particular fields. In view of the movement's incredible success, they decided to set up a permanent structure for the "defense and promotion of sports and culture on campus".

Upon its creation, the Association Estudiantine pour la Promotion du Sport et de la Culture (Student Association for the Promotion of Sports and Culture, AEPSC) focused primarily on the defense of sports and culture. However, since 2014, the organisation has worked on any kind of aspect that may advance social peace, whic is its main mission.

More specifically, this aims at:

Promoting sports and culture in school and at university level

Creating a specific framework in which students can communicate and exchange on experiences

Promoting social cohesion through raising awareness and respect for human dignity

One of AEPSC's former activities involved following up on the sports team at USSU-BF (2012-2013 and 2013-2014) at the Cup of the General Director of the CENOU and SNAC. AESPC has also led many series of entertainment activities in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso.
